Editorial Review

It's a very funny joke. You open the box containing the Thin Ice game--with its frosty blue coloring and pictures of top-hatted penguins--and one of the first things you see is a pocket pack of facial tissues. Well, the folks at Pressman don't guarantee you'll come down with the sniffles when you play Thin Ice, but a case of the giggles is assured. The tissues--or to be precise, one ply of the tissues--form the drum-like surface on which a series of damp marbles are placed, one by one. Players use the tongs to fish a marble out of the water trough and place it on the thin paper before passing the tongs to the next player as quickly as possible. But possession is nine-tenths of the thaw; if you're holding the tongs when the weakened paper rips, you're assigned the letter I. Spell "ice" and you're out. One package of Marcal tissues is included, though any facial tissue will work. (Don't play with any cheater who insists on using Bounty paper towels!) For silly, soppy, super-absorbing fun, the Thin Ice game raises play to new Gesund-heights. --Tony Mason

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Short-lived fun, November 25, 2008 By  Mom 2002 (Sunnyvale, CA) - See all my reviews = Durability:  = Fun:  = Educational:  This review is from: Thin Ice (Toy) Assembly of this game the first time takes only a minute or two. Playing the game took my 6-year-old a few seconds. Only three or four wet marbles placed on the tissue breaks it. When my son attempts to put a new tissue in place himself, it nearly always rips a little, so he becomes frustrated. He did find the game interesting at first, and was fascinated by the concept of water making paper easier to break.

Hardeman - See all my reviews    = Durability:  = Fun:  = Educational:  Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Thin Ice (Toy) My son absolutely LOVES this game! It was recommended to us by an OT to assist in developing his fine motor skills and it's something he enjoys doing. The premise of the game is also easy to understand and it allows you to count the marbles that fall through which is another angle on educational learning. The game itself was inexpensive, but I see us using it for a long time to come. Great buy!!
